I can't imagine any use cases where this is necessary. When mining on a private network with ethereum geth, there's a way to use a javascript \"[hack](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/bitchin-tricks#mining)\" to prevent empty blocks from being mined. Hoping this feature will be baked into the client for quorum. I'd be happy to take a crack at developing it and creating a pull request, just wondering if theres any reason its not viable."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jpmorganchase/quorum/issues/comments/271016305","html_url":"https://github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum/issues/21#issuecomment-271016305","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jpmorganchase/quorum/issues/21","id":271016305,"user":{"login":"davoell","id":12942283,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/12942283?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell","html_url":"https://github.com/davoell","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/davoell/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-01-06T21:45:15Z","updated_at":"2017-01-06T21:45:15Z","body":"Having the ability to prevent mining empty blocks is a great idea. We leveraged the feature you describe ourselves in our pre-Quorum work. It just wasn't a high enough priority for us given the use cases we're considering for Quorum which are all in the multiple tx/sec range but it would be terrific if you would like to take a crack at developing this. We expect to be able to accept pull requests very soon."}}
